The UN’s COP30 climate summit in Brazil concludes with what organizers are calling the “strongest ever” deal – but critics aren’t convinced. Nearly 200 countries signed a new declaration promising to accelerate climate action and keep warming below 1.5°C. Adaptation funding is set to triple to $120 billion by 2035 to help vulnerable nations.
However, the deal omits any direct mention of oil, gas, or coal, frustrating over 80 countries and the EU that pushed for a clear roadmap to phase out fossil fuels. Deforestation in the Amazon is barely addressed, and climate experts warn that “baby steps” won’t be enough as global temperatures approach 1.3°C. COP30 maintained diplomatic unity, but the world still waits for bold, concrete action.
